Great little place on the beach.

The website showed breakfast. There was none. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom door would not shut, but was just my wife and me, but still. The view from the third floor is awesome! Location is great. Overall we had a really nice time.

I loved the location. I thought the room was clean and bright. We could have used somewhere to hang towels, hooks or racks. Also a table lamp or some kind of lower level lighting would be nice. The lights were very bright which is ok for sometime, but not all the time. We also had a little trouble parking. Could use a couple more spaces or limit guests to 1 car/room. I could tell a lot have work has been done to the hotel and it was generally very nice.

Beachfront budget bliss

The Blue Heron is cool for a quick getaway. It isn’t the fanciest spot, but it is oceanfront, and you can’t beat the view looking right out on the ocean from the top floor. It wasn’t the cleanest, but it was decent enough for a couple of nights. Huge perk that it was pet friendly. If you want to hit the beach with your pup on a budget, this is the place to do it!

Great inexpensive short term beach stay location!

Great place to stay for a single night. Room was big and clean. Back door opened directly to beach access. Very friendly staff and very accommodating. Relatively quiet though being on the first floor meant we heard our neighbors walking above us. But other than that would highly recommend.

I was called on my way to the property by "John" who had told me I could check in early and asked when I would be arriving- I was thrilled- I told him my e.t.a. he told me okay and hopes I enjoy my stay. I get to the property to find out "John" isnt even an onsite employee and he denied what he had told me, which was aggravating. My husband was less than impressed at this-We were then told we would be called as soon as the room was ready. We were never called hours go by - we went back to the office at regular check in time. The room was above the office which is fine(that was why it was cheaper than the others) except the stairs are quite narrow. The room wasn't very clean and the sheets felt like there was sand in them. Pillows were flat. The mattress was indeed firm- if you like that. I don't think its actually a Queen, maybe a Full size bed. The soap, shampoo & conditioner (2 in1) and lotion were in dispensers instead of individual bottles. You could see the hole where the pipe for the showerhead comes out of the wall. The bathroom was kinda dark even with both lights on. The towels folded like kissing birds setting at the foot of the bed like on a cruise ship was cute. The a.c. blew nice and cold. The beach access was awesome. Even though the room was on the street side of the hotel it wasnt very loud. All in all its an ok place to stay. The room rates are a little high, but, it IS oceanfront.

My stay was amazing. The view from my room was great. The room was very clean up on arrival. It was pretty quiet the whole time and the pool was very clean. Beach access was great didn't have to go over and dunes just right out to the ocean. Overall my stay was great and I would recommend staying at the Blue Heron

This property was exactly what we were looking for. It’s very nice. I mean it’s not up to date with all the newest stuff, but everything worked and we were right in the beach. Pool was open all the time and there were 2 pools.

Upon arrival we discovered hair in the shower. The provided hair dryer was broken and kept tripping the electric breaker. There was no housekeeping service during our stay and we only started out with 2 washcloths. You have to go to the front office across the parking lot to get refresh on toiletries and towels. The bright spot of this hotel is being ocean front.
